Pattern coming as a PDF and in English in August 2024.

Memento is a little throwback to decades gone by. The sweater is worked top-down seamlessly. It starts with a mock turtleneck and a bit of short rows to shape the neckline and continues with raglan sleeves and an all-over geometric colorwork pattern. The colorwork is easy to memorize and there are only a couple rounds where you’ll need to catch your floats. The design has long sleeves with tall cuffs. The sample is worked with two contrast colours, but you can use as many as you like.
